As others indicated, I’m not versed in studio accountancy, but nobody seemed interested in the tax write off by NOT releasing the Cindy Crawford/Baldwin brother film Fair Game, despite it being theatrical malaise. The studio that gave us Kangaroo Jack is claiming a Wile E Coyote movie is somehow lacking?! The studio said “yes” to the cinematic flotsam and jetsam that was the Arthur remake, Battlefield Earth, and Cop Out, but a film about a female caped crusader gets buried in a shallow grave?
